| Fathers Needed |
I wish I was writing today’s devotional on Father’s day, but we simply
can’t wait that long, because we're in a state of emergency. We're on
the very precipice of losing generations of young people worldwide
because fathers are at large. Understand me here when I speak of fathers
in this light. I simply do not refer to any male figure with (just) the
ability to impregnate a woman, truly any fool can do that. But I refer
to the men (and women) who have been entrusted by God with the awesome
responsibility of raising the next generation of men. Men who will lead
families and societies, and are woefully failing in this regard.
A young man was to be sentenced to the penitentiary. The judge had known him from childhood, for he was well acquainted with his father - a famous legal scholar and the author of an exhaustive study entitled, "The Law of Trusts."
"Do you remember your father?" asked the magistrate.
"I remember him well, your honour," came the reply.
